Episode 11 "The Battler of Phantom Demons"
New Aincrad 29th floor
In front of the boss room, I... called out to the Sleeping Knights behind me.
"...then let's go!"
"""""Oh!!!""""""
Yes, we were once again trying to conquer the boss with one party.
This time, me and the members of the Sleeping Knights...
How did this happen? The story goes back half a month.
After the barbecue tournament held at Kirito's log house, it was when everyone who was there defeated the boss of the 28th floor.
"Hey! Won't you take on the boss together with Fon next time?"
It all started with Yuuki's words .
The members of the Sleeping Knights agreed, and even Asuna jumped into the conversation.
Ultimately...
"... no good, maybe...?"
I couldn't say no to Yuuki's upturned words... I worked out a strategy with Asuna, and today... I decided to challenge the boss of the 29th floor.
End of recollection...I wonder who the explanation is really for...
When I opened the door and everyone entered the boss room, Siune who entered last locked the door .
I also strengthened my vigilance so that I could pull out my weapon at any time.
Then...
"Oh... look!"
When I looked at the direction Yuuki was pointing at, something was growing out of the ground.
"Oi oi..." "...No way"
When I saw that figure, Yuuki and I involuntarily leaked out the words.
That's because Yuuki and I fought in SAO in the past...he looked just like the owner of that cave, "The Despair Forest Master".
Whereas that one looked like a pitch-black tree, this one had green vines wrapped around it, giving it a youthful look.
The name of the monster is also "The Hope Living tree".
"Battle begins! Siune, please heal!"
"I understand!"
“As planned, Yuuki and Jun should concentrate on attacking!
"""""roger that!"""""
"let's go!"
I set up my short trance ``Magatsuno Miyazuchi'' and my shield ``Dvorberg'', and started following Jun.
As per the information in advance, the boss unleashes two types of attacks: a swinging arm attack and a ranged attack that scatters seeds in a certain pattern.
On the other hand, the strategy we took was hit & away. The dealers, Yuuki and Jun, continue to attack regardless, while the other members of the front and middle guards support them, sometimes turning to attack...
Basically, it was a strategy that emphasized evasion, and it was a strategy that assumed that even Siune alone would be able to heal in time, and we continued to attack the boss.
…Or rather, since I can't use healing magic like Asuna, I had no choice but to rely on items to heal me, so this was the strategy…
“Tetch, step back once! Leave the tank to me! Nori, follow Yuuki!
Tarken, after I block the next attack, rush in with Jun! ”
While dealing with the boss's attacks and giving instructions to each member, I remembered what Asuna told me during the strategy meeting for this boss battle.
"Fon-kun is good at watching movements on the front line, so I think he's good at commanding platoons."
At that time, I didn't think that was the case, so I listened lightly, but...
Apparently, Asuna's point was correct.
"Siune, MP is!"
"It's still fine!"
"Understood! I'll give you two EX potions, so use them if you need them!
Whoa! A ranged attack is coming !
Instruct all party members to evade from the boss's motion. Protect Yuuki and block the seeds with a shield.
"Now... two more!"
Aiming to stiffen ranged attacks, Yuuki cuts down the boss's HP with a one-handed 4-hit Sword Skill <Horizontal Square>.
With this, there are only two left... I think the boss's attack should change... That's what I thought.
"Wh-what...?"
"Ueeee... you're kind of squishy!"
As Tetch and Jun said, the boss was acting mysteriously .
That scene... reminded me of what happened in that cave.
"... everyone, fly!!!"
"""""!?!?!?!""""
Feeling something strange on the ground, I jumped while giving instructions.
However, in ALO, which has a flight function, my instruction just now completely confused the members of the Sleeping Knights, and all of them stopped acting for a moment.
that moment,
"Th-This is...!?"
"Uh, I can't move!"
"Kuh... this!?"
The ivy got tangled up from everyone's feet, entangling the members other than me.
Even Siune, the rear guard, had been restrained, and although Nori and Yuuki were trying to untie them, they didn't budge.
(Damn it! An enhanced version of that restraint technique!?)
While remembering the bitter memories of Aincrad's hidden dungeon, I regretted not realizing it.
Anyway, I'm the only one who can move now... I have to somehow earn the boss's hate and wait for everyone to recover.
That's when I was thinking.
“ GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!! ”
"Oh, hey... what is that...!"
"A, a meteorite...?"
Jun and Tarken's words expressed everything... Behind him, several times the size of the seed that seemed to be an enhanced version of the seed that was released with the ranged attack... Several meteorites emerged.
“(Chii! With that, are you going to attack the range all at once…!) Let me do it!!!”
I operate the window and activate "High-speed conversion".
Carrying the bow "Light of Fugetsu" on its back, it is equipped with the light green equipment of the hunter-style "Person who bears matchmaking". As it is, put on the goggles on the head, hold the bow and activate the sword skill.
“ GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!! ” _ _ _
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
The moment he shoots the meteorite, I shoot the bow too...not just once, but twice, three times...shooting arrows one after another.
Illusionary Sword 《Bow》Magic Rapid Fire Sword Skill <Hexeley Anfini> This sword skill fires magic arrows instead of real arrows.
And this sword skill has the unusual feature of exploding arrows.
The rain of magic arrows fired at full power collides with the meteorites and causes a large explosion .
"GUGYA !? "
No way, he didn't think that it would be offset... The boss looked confused.
Taking that as an opportunity, I quickly approached the boss at once. However, the boss immediately prepared his posture, stretched out his roots to keep me away, and threw it at me.
"phone!!!"
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”
I took a sword skill stance, deflected the roots with a bow and dodge, rushed towards the boss at once, and jumped into his chest.
"Eat it!!"
Illusion sword 《Bow》 Super heavy single-shot sword skill <Gruen Impulse>.
Among the bow and sword skills, it's an unusually short technique with a range right in front of you...
“GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ? ! ? ! ? ”
A blow that caused a large explosion along with a flash pierced the boss and knocked down its giant body.
I was also blown backwards by the recoil.
“Fo, Fon!?”
With the boss going down, Yuuki and the others seemed to be able to move.
I rolled on the ground while confirming that everyone was ready to move.
Yuuki ran over and caught my body.
“A-Are you okay, Fong!?”
"Not yet! Yuuki, don't let your guard down!"
"Huh...!?"
Calling Yuuki's attention, I took out a hi-potion from the storage and drank it all at once.
The boss regained his balance and was about to attack us. I operate the window again and use 《Rapid Remodel》 that has been recast.
This time, he put on the heavy spear ``Elephus Boden'' and the ``Armor of the 8th Knights Order'', which was conscious of Western armor, and shouted.
“Listen, this is the critical moment! Everyone should avoid the restraints and root attacks.
Siune! ”
"Yes!"
“Give me all the EX potions! Besides recovery, attack me with the highest magic!
Tech, Jun! ”
"Yes!"
"Change of strategy! You two are going to be tanks! The root attack has a wide range! It's better to cover with two people who are easy to defend!"
""roger that!""
"Yuuki, Nori, and Tarken! The three of you can just charge in! Attacks other than roots have only changed in speed, so you can avoid them!"
"Understood!" "Oh!" "Understood!"
"If it drags on, we're at a disadvantage! We'll attack with short-term firepower...we'll win!!!"
""""""king!!!""""""
Hearing those words, the Sleeping Knights got even more fired up, and we resumed the battle.
With the decrease in HP, the boss's attack power and speed increased, but we surpassed them and further reduced our HP. I see through the ranged attacks of seeds and roots, and defend against attacks that Tarken and Tetch cannot dodge as a tank.
In that gap, we dealers use sword skills to reduce HP.
And then, the last one of my HP was cut, and that one was also cut in half with my 7 consecutive spear range sword skill <Wild Twister>.
“ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!! ”
"Huh? Everyone defend!!!"
At my shout, everyone scattered and protected themselves.
At that moment, an oversized root popped out from the center of the field. I managed to defend against it with my spear, but I couldn't block everything and my HP was reduced.
“I-Is everyone safe!?”
When I asked everyone about their safety, it seemed that everyone was safe, although they had received damage.
“… Yuuki, is it dangerous!?”
"Huh!?"
Hearing Siune's words, I looked at Yuuki, and the boss was closing in on Yuuki, who hadn't recovered from the damage. Seeing that figure, I pushed the pain away and started running.
“Yukiiiiiiiiiii!!!!”
For the third time, I used 《High-Speed Conversion》, wore 『Blue Flame Recca Ver2』, held a two-handed sword and a sword in both hands, and increased my speed even more.
“ GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!! ”
"Huh!?"
The moment the boss raised his arm and tried to swing it down at Yuuki,
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
Cross the two-handed sword and the sword and deflect the blow.
Just like that, I jumped into the bosom of the boss and activated my sword skill with my two-handed sword.
First of all, the two-handed sword 6-hit highest sword skill <Calamity Disaster>. My body screamed at the highest level sword skill that was supposed to be activated with both hands.
…But, ignoring that, this time I focused my attention on the hand holding the sword,
"Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
With Skill Connect, activate Sword Skill without stiffness. Sword 3-hit sword skill <Rasetsu>, and fantasy sword <Two-handed sword> Unleashes a super heavy single-shot top-level sword skill <End of Fortune>... Boss's HP gradually decreases... Only a few dots left.
“ GYAA !!!!! ” _ _
Seeing me stiff and unable to move, the boss seemed to laugh as if he was convinced of his victory.
...but that was my line.
“Go, Yuuki!!!!!”
“Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”
At the same time as my shout, Yuuki, who used me as a stepping stone, aimed at the boss's face and fired the perfect OSS <Mother's Rosary>. There's no way the boss with only dots remaining HP can't stand it.. Yuuki's 11 successive attacks,
“GUGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ? ! ? ! ? ”
Raising his death throes, he changed his appearance into a polygon. The letters "Congratulations" floated in the air, and when we saw it,
""""""Yaaaaaaaaa!!!"""""""
I was raising a battle cry.
"You did it! You did it, Fong!"
"Oh, you did it!"
Receiving a hug from Yuuki, whose tension rose with joy, I was overjoyed, so I unintentionally hugged Yuuki back, but...
"Oh...I'm sorry!"
They calmed down and separated from each other while their faces turned bright red at the fact that they were hugging each other.
I ended up hugging her, but I wonder if Yuuki feels bad about it.
"Uuu... I just hugged you...!"
…It seems that he doesn't hate me… Seeing Yuuki's somewhat happy smile made me feel a little relieved.
“Yuuki, Mr. Fong!
"Launch, launch!"
Yuuki and I met Nori and Jun's words,
"Okay, then I should wave my arms!"
"Really! I'm looking forward to Phong's home cooking!"
“Hon-san, are you training your cooking skills?”
Yuuki and Siune reacted to my declaration, and we left the boss room to celebrate the defeat of the boss.
The next day, after successfully defeating the boss at a solo party again, it's a digression that the Sleeping Knights and I were chased by an informant.
Next time: SAO ~Phantom War Demon~
"Unified Duel Tournament huh..."
“Yeah! Hwon will also be participating, right?”
"... win... absolutely win"
(...win, to Yuuki...)
"Come on, let's go for a match... 'Illusion sword' or 'Dual wield'... which one is stronger..."
"Put it black and white, von!"
"Sorry, Kirito...this is how I win!!!"
"ALO Swordsmanship Tournament Part 1 Phantom Demon Vs Black Swordsman"
Destroy everything, connect everything!
[Sword Skill Commentary]
Illusion Sword 《Bow》Magic Combined Fire Sword Skill <Hexeley Anfini>
A sword skill that consumes MP and shoots magic arrows. As long as MP lasts, you can keep shooting arrows. Fires 10 arrows each time the bow is drawn, causing a large explosion upon impact.
The motion is very similar to the Bow Sword Skill <Wide Shot>.
By the way, I was also thinking of a scene where Phong shouts the lines from a certain Gundam theatrical version, "Turbulent strike !!!"
Illusion Sword "Bow" Super heavy single-shot sword skill <Gruen Impulse> Fires
a super powerful arrow with a range of zero distance. Among bow sword skills,it is a heretical super-close sword skill.Along with the attack, the player is forcibly blown backwards with an explosion, forcing the target to go down.
It shows its true value in interpersonal battles, but it is also useful in boss battles when you want to take down. I thought about this move too, at the end of the 23rd episode of season 1, where I wanted him to shout like,
"I'm going to shoot!"
Omitted)
I wonder if these two will get together soon...
I 'm writing this story while thinking about such things (laughs)
From here, I'll change the chronological order a little.In the original, it would be a flight race → unified duel tournament competition, but the unified duel tournament will be held first.
I want to quickly bring Von and Yuuki together (laughs), so
next time it will be one of the stories the author wanted to write...
the battle between Von vs Kirito!
looking forward to!
